Colin Kaepernick

Jason Campbell

Why this game is intriguing:The Backup Bowl? It might be. If a pair of concussions hadn't struck last week, this matchup might have been at the top of the list, or at least in the discussion for that spot. Now, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and 49ers quarterback Alex Smithmight not be the starters on Monday, and that makes this one lose its luster. "Jason Campbell vs. Colin Kaepernick" doesn't get the juices flowing. Still, this is a big game, and there is some intrigue. If Kaepernick is the starter, watching that nasty Bears front try to chase him around will be fun. On the other side, can the Bears gain any traction running the ball against Patrick Willis, NaVorro Bowman and company?

I got the 49ers. I believe Kapernick can manage the game enough to let Frank Gore carry them to a win. I don't think Campbell(even though he's a better QB) will be effective behind that offensive line.

I'll be blunt: this was a game I had marked as a loss for us when the schedule was first released. Now with our only competent, non-cowardly QB out of the game this game is going to get ugly and in a hurry. We'll be lucky to get 200 yards of total offense against this frightening defense, also with a terribly run offense/horrible o-line. Our defense will keep pace with theirs for a while, but when they start compiling points- be it FGs or TDs- and we don't, our defense will start to get tired and things will fall apart. Captain Checkdown will get us nowhere, I'm fairly confident of that.

We'll likely be down 10-3 at the half, then San Fran will pull away midway through the 3rd. Ugly game for us offensively, which some of us are used to. Of course when you're going against an elite defense with a crap offense like this what else would one expect? All we can hope IMO is that Cutler will be back on Sunday and we get back on track against the Vikings.

That will not be the final score, trust me. Bears score is probably right but 49ers won't top 20 points.

All we can hope is that Jay gets into Campbells ear and tells him "Fuck it, just go deep!" to B-marsh and Alshon da based rookie God.

Jay isn't broken down, he's just gotten lazy. Martz held him to a higher standard. Now that his buddy Tice is running things and his best friend Bmarsh is back in town, Jay has let his mechanics go. Someone needs to get on him about that.

And of course our Oline still sucks and our Offensive coordinator is running, in the words of trent dilfer and steve young, a "remedial offense".

Year 4 of the guy. 7th yr in the league. He's 29, and he's regressing. He's currently on pace for his 2nd worst season ever. That's after bringing in his #1 WR and drafting another tall guy and bringing back his preferred QB coach and letting him have his say with the OC.

I'm tired of hoping he's going to be something he hasn't shown he can be yet. The goodwill is gone. Dude has to earn it on the field for me.

I predict 3-4 solid plays from Kaep, but I also predict at least 3 turnovers. He should have had 2 last week in half a game, and the Rams don't get turnovers at anything close to the rate the Bears get turnovers.

I can tell you right now we are not scoring 30 points lol. I'd love to be wrong though.

I hate the position I'm in... I have Chi's D, Vernon, and a defender (Bowman) against Akers and a defender (Briggs) and I'm down 3. If somehow I could possibly win this matchup and the have the 49ers win, it'll be an awesome night.

That. I can see the game being super close with neither offense doing much. I wouldn't be shocked if defensive scores are the difference.

The Bears' defense will feast on the inexperienced QB who likes to use his feet rather then throw the ball. Campbell is a starting caliber QB and now that he's actually has some time with the 1st team, will look much better. Look for the Bears D to score, the special teams to finally get a return TD, and for Campbell to have a couple of TD drives. Oh, and I gave San Fran a couple of pity FGs.
